WASHINGTON: US ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley on Thursday will present evidence that Iran has “deliberately violated” its international obligations, the Pentagon said. “During the briefing, Ambassador Haley will offer irrefutable evidence that Iran has deliberately violated its international obligations and has tried and failed to cover up these violations,” the statement read. Haley has called on the UN Security Council to take a tougher stance toward Iran, accusing Tehran of making illegal arms deals in Yemen, Lebanon and Syria. In his report, Guterres said officials had seen the logo but that they were still analyzing the information. Recent Iranian missile launches have triggered US sanctions and accusations they violate the spirit of a 2015 nuclear deal between Tehran and major powers.
